Clinton Anderson Approach & Retreat

I thought the following was an interesting demo by Clinton Anderson of horse lingo and approach-and-retreat training:



Although I have already intimately explained and deciphered, from my perspective, the 'Barney incident' with Linda Parelli, I thought the above video was a good additional sort of explanation to add! I can tell ya, I have much more respect for Clinton Anderson than for Chris Irwin!! Hahaha. I will have to look further into CA's methods...

  1. The problem I see w/Clinton, is that he likes his horses robotic. He tends to flood a horse and his own horses are very mechanical.
    However, I think he does have something to offer much of the time.

    I like Jonathan Field MUCH better.

  2. Thanks for the input! I've been meaning to check him out for years now, but sort of had this feeling he might be that way - so many are. Stacy Westfall is another I feel is possibly that way? I LOVELOVELOVE Jonathan. Took a couple clinics through him and definitely plan on getting out to his ranch in the near future...

  3. Stacy is far better w/a horse then Clinton is. She does not flood the horse and is much more appropriate to the horse's temperament. However, she does do some things that I do not care for, such as constantly flapping her legs on the horse to keep him moving (it seems to be a reining thing).
    If you ever can get your hands on the DVD sets from the 2006 & 2007 Road to the Horse, do so. They are very interesting to watch.
    Jonathan sure has a good way with a horse.
